Ripple CLO Reveals How Donald Trump Can Make US The Crypto Capital

Ripple CLO Reveals How Donald Trump Can Make US The Crypto Capital

Ripple chief legal officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty has revealed how US President-elect Donald Trump can make the United States (US) the crypto capital. The Ripple CLO statement came as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse outlined his checklist for the Trump administration.

Ripple CLO Reveals How Trump Can Make US Crypto Capital

In an X post, Stuart Alderoty called on Donald Trump to move swiftly to end the regulation-by-enforcement approach that the crypto industry has endured and position the US as the crypto capital of the world.

As the Ripple CLO suggested, the US has been unable to claim the title of crypto capital due to its unfavorable regulatory environment. Regulators like the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have clamped down on crypto firms instead of providing regulatory clarity.

However, the Ripple CLO believes that is likely to change under Donald Trump. In his post, he also revealed that the president-elect had taken time to listen to Ripple’s story when they met and has also prioritized crypto as a key policy issue.

Indeed, the US president-elect was very vocal about crypto during his presidential campaign, making several promises to the crypto industry. As part of his promises regarding Bitcoin and the crypto industry, Donald Trump said he would fire US SEC Chair Gary Gensler on day one in office.

This is one of the major promises the crypto community is holding on to, considering that Gensler has spearheaded the anti-crypto crusade in the country.

Brad Garlinghouse Outlines Checklist For Donald Trump’s Administration

Before the Ripple CLO’s comments, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had outlined his checklist for the Trump administration’s first 100 days in office. First, he stated that Trump should fire Gensler on Day 1, just as promised.

In Gensler’s place, Garlinghouse recommended that the president-elect appoint either Christopher Giancarlo or Robinhood CLO Dan Gallagher, as they will be “massive upgrades” in rebuilding the rule of law at the SEC. Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz also recently mentioned pro-crypto US SEC commissioner Hester Peirce as one of those who could also replace Gensler.

The Ripple CEO also asked Trump to get the US Congress to move the digital asset market structure bill forward in the Senate. Lastly, he asked if they could get some clarity for Ethereum, similar to that of Bitcoin and XRP since they are recognized as non-securities.

While Brad Garlinghouse didn’t endorse any candidate, Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen made their stance known through donations. The Ripple CLO donated $300,000 to the Donald Trump campaign, while Larsen donated up to $11 million to Kamala Harris’ campaign.
